ICE
The ice is thin come on dive in
underneath my lucid skin
the cold is lost, forgotten

Hours pass, days pass time stands still
light gets dark & darkness fills
my secret heart forbidden...

I think you worried for me then
the subtle ways that I'd give in
but I know you like the snow

tied down to this bed of shame
you tried to move around the pain
but oh, your soul is anchored

The only comfort is the moving of the river
you enter into me a lie upon your lips
offer what you can I'll take all that I can get:
only a fool's here...

I don't like your tragic sighs
as if your god has passed you by
well hey fool, that's your deception

Your angels speak with jilted tongues
the serpents tale has come undone
you have no strength to squander.

The only comfort is the moving of the river
you enter into me a lie upon your lips
offer what you can, I'll take all that I can get
only a fool's here to stay
only a fool's here...

Sarah McLachlan
